Did you know that sustainable palm oil cannot be grown in place of primary forest or in important conservation areas? Growers have to use the best growing practices to keep soil and water supplies healthy, and to reduce pollution and carbon emissions. They also need to pay a decent wage and respect the rights of workers and communities.
